Playing music, carving wood, dancing, gardening, building, writing -- we do what
we enjoy, and enjoy what we do. Life is so
full and we appreciate all it gives us, opportunities and challenges alike. We
are never bored, often happy -- learning, loving, living, laughing. Do we have
downs as well as ups? Of course! How boring it would be if it were not so. But
the dips help us decide what it is we want, and what we want changes as we
continue to grow. We are now in our 60's (Sue) and 70's (Steve) and
looking forward to where we will be next year, and the year after, and the next
... But it is this moment we relish most and we're happy to share some of our
moments with you. We are as drawn to the artwork of the spider and the
incredible beauty of fresh fallen snow in the trees as we are with the technology that allows us to
connect with so many of you. What a fascinating world we live as part of.

We welcome you into our lives via our website. May
you have a good time while here, and leave with inspiration and a smile.

Donations we receive
from visitors to our website go in a fund for "public service"
performances -- providing live traditional music where it might not
otherwise not be heard.

or part of the
articles from our website in a non-profit publication or website of your

with us first and we'll work out an agreeable arrangement. Thanks!
